I thought that i was getting better after a couple of days, but soon was awakened with a stomach flu in the middle of the night, I'm not throwing up anymore, but still have diarrhea and a very consistent pain in my abdomen, which I'm pretty sure is gas. Although i haven't been able to walk upright for long amounts of time without the pain becoming overwhelming its almost by my belly button but isn't stuck in one spot. Any help is appreciated.
Yes, this flare up can and does happen after the flu or any kind of illness or any surgery as many times the meds we use can also be a trigger.
In addition to the meds you are taking for reflux you should modify your diet and lifestyle....meaning to avoid acidic greasy, spicy foods as well as alcoholic and carbonated bevs.....smoking....and stress.
Peptic ulcer disease causes upper left quadrant pain that usually begins 2 hours after a meal. It gets better with over the counter antacids. Stomach flu can cause indigestion and abdominal discomfort. Viral gastroenteritis can lead to nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The exact location of pain and other details will help in determining the accurate cause .Take light meals. Avoid spicy fried foods. If the symptoms are severe consult a gastroenterologist.
Best of luck and regards!
Maybe I can get some kind of answer here. It started 2 weeks ago I had the stomach flu real bad. A week later a vertigo spell and light dizzy spell ever since. Then a week ago small pain in left side that is worse at night and in morning as well as empty stomach.It comes and goes feel sick at times.Now the big problem is I have anxirty disorder so a small pain can turn into major thing.
2 weeks ago I had a stomach flu. Since then I feel nauseous all the time, burping before and especially after meals; when burp I feel acid in my mouth, feeling of tightness in a upper stomach, no pain. I also feel like something is turning around in the esophagus but it doesn't feel like the heartburn would feel after a fatty meal. Please help!
I called and talked to a nurse and that was absolutely no help. She didnt ask any questions just told me have the flu and got me off the phone. Its not the flu. No fever. No hot flashes or chills. It gets better for a minute every time i puke and poop but then it hurts again. After 4 hours i cant take it. I want to eat for my baby but i have no appetite and i throw up everything i drink.
About two weeks ago I came down with a nasty stomach bug (possibly the flu) that I got passed down from my two kids. (Thanks daycare!)
About a week after it hit I started getting weird urinary symptoms--constant leakage, trouble emptying bladder, fatigue, and pain at end of my penis. Saw urologist this past Friday and he said my prostate was swollen. All other urine tests, cat scan came up normal. Prescribed me cipro and flomax.
Yep stomach pain totally normal. That and the RLS are the worst w/d symptoms I think. Try eating small amounts of crackers and banana (I know it's really REALLY hard) But if you can do it. Do it. Also, drink some peppermint tea in little sips. Cold fluid is harder on the tummy. You will get through this. It's total hell for at least 72 hours but it gets better. You can do this.

I'm a 43 year old male. For the last 3 months I've been getting stomach aches, headaches, light headedness, nausea, sudden tiredness and bad wind. Toilet wise everything is normal. I'm very fit for my age (cycle over 10 miles a day to work and play football once a week), plus I eat mostly healthy food. I hardly ever get ill yet recently I've also had 2 ear infections and had 2 bouts of flu.
